I learned long ago never to try and sway folks to your side when feuding with a close fri– er, enemy. R.A.??
Well, anyway, YOU usually come off looking like the antagonist. (or, in this case, a “Batshit Insane Wack-Bag”.
Best to play it cool and let them be their own undoing.
… Poor Billie

“Hey Ruth! I hear you’re the RA. Listen, I think my roommate might be like way dangerously insane. I can’t even enter my own room because she just scares the hell out of me. Could you help me out here? She’s physically aggressive and always drunk and twitchy and obsessive and delusional. She takes pictures of people while they’re sleeping. She has pictures of you. Last night she stormed into our room at 3am and chased me out while shouting up a storm. The entire floor heard her! I can’t even sleep because of her!”

Ruth raises an eyebrow. “Um yeah sure. Let’s make her someone else’s problem. I think that’s within my abilities considering the severity of the complaints.”

It continues to amuse me that Sal seems incapable of acknowledging her own crazy-ass behavior (again, she finds climbing the wall of a four story building easier than simply opening the door to her dorm and stepping over the sleeping body on the floor.)

And yet… Billie is starting to loose her own remaining sanity points towards the end here.

As Gangler has hypothesized, and I’m starting to agree, Sal uses Squirrel-Logic. By the views of Squirrel-Logic, one ignores one’s own contributions to things, as one is barely aware one exists, as one is constantly on the lookout for external threats. Sal is certainly doing this very thing…

She’s right here – Sal *is* Amazi-girl. Have you ever seen them both around at the same time? No. And she’s out at all hours, often inexplicably absent; entering and exiting through upper-story windows; has a better vehicle than anybody else around? Obvious superhero traits. And the capper? Amazi-girl doesn’t wear glasses. Sal doesn’t wear glasses. Q.E.D.

That’s why I always trust the crazy person. Everyone else thinks Billie is being insane but really it’s not the kind of thing that even crazy people make up it just sounds crazy. I give people like this benefit of the doubt cuz they are usually right.
